Thanks again all ....
Yes, we're meeting the estate agents here next Tuesday so we'll discuss the price again with them then. We're aware certain work could be done on the house, but we'll market it "as found" and be prepared to take a small hit if needs be. But I don't want to put it on the market initially at a "crazy" price. It's a question of finding the right balance ...
Can,t you up your price then ossie to match thers
We can't match their price, saundra, it's a bigger house (possibly 5 beds to our 4) and I think it's got an extension / conservatory. But £375K is certainly eye-watering; I wouldn't buy it! The hope is that if there's some disappointed punters who like the area, they might just go for our smaller house with a bit of wriggle room to do it up. Don't get me wrong, ours is not about to fall down, we've spent around £8k in the last year on painting / new central heating / updated lighting, but another £5k on kitchen flooring / garage / garden wouldn't go amiss. If we don't sell (in say 6 months) and decide to stay, that work is what we would be doing in the Autumn, anyway. It's just normal wear 'n tear on a 15 yo house ....
That's the game plan anyway.
Now, please 'scuse the Ostrich, because Ossie's off to do weeding >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
When I saw the local agents this afternoon to arrange a visit, they asked me what my minimum price would be. I named a figure; they pulled a face - "That's a bit conservative".
